The sheer beauty of this attracted me to the picture. It is a very good example of photography. You've managed to focus on the main objects of this picture with great precision and you've also conveniently blurred t he background, thought it looks a lot like a motion blur than unfocus. It seems like the rest of the world is revolving.
The wings of the bee are wonderfully captured, and you've picked a very good angle for the flowers. They face the viewer, but the buds add variety.
I can't sense a core idea in this, really, other than a bee and a flower. And this idea isn't a very original one either. I have to say, placing this scene on a flower like this is a bit new-most of the scenes are on large, tear drop shaped petaled flowers. Not to mention, the hue of the wings are also amazing. I say that if maybe you add a bit of a twist in the variety of the plant and the position of the bee, it'd really make this memorable. (But those guys are very hard to capture. If possible though.)

In whole, you've got a very nice picture-rich in technique. And that skill sticks this picture in my mind-thank you for sharing! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="26" height="18" alt=":salute:" title="I salute you!"/>
